What Is Biltong?

Biltong is a traditional South African dried beef snack — soft-chewy, rich in flavour, and made using simple, honest ingredients.
Unlike jerky, biltong is air-dried, not cooked, which keeps it tender, natural, and incredibly high in protein.
At Yak’s Biltong, we follow the classic South African method:
100% UK beef, vinegar, salt, coriander, pepper, spices, and time.
That’s it. No sugar-loaded marinades, no mystery ingredients, no shortcuts.
The result?
A bold, clean, high-protein snack that’s perfect for the gym, on the road, at work, or while watching the rugby. Proper food — made the proper way.

 

What Is Drywors?

Drywors is a traditional South African dried sausage — made from thin beef sausages that are gently air-dried until firm, flavourful, and incredibly moreish.

Unlike biltong, which is sliced from whole muscle, drywors starts as a spiced beef sausage. As it dries, the natural fats and spices concentrate, giving it a deep, savoury flavour and a satisfying snap when you bite into it.

At Yak’s, we make our Drywors the proper way:
 100% UK beef, coriander, pepper, vinegar, and bold spices, dried low and slow for the perfect texture.

The result?
 A rich, traditional South African snack — high in protein, full of flavour, and impossible to put down.
